The Remembrance Ceremony hosted by the Sikh community is held every year at the historic location of the grave of World War I Canadian hero Private Buckam Singh, the only military grave in Canada of a Sikh soldier from the World Wars.

The Sikh Remembrance Day Ceremony has now become one of the largest annual gathering of Sikh soldiers and veterans in North America. The ceremony allows Canadians the opportunity to appreciate the inclusive nature of our country and the sacrifices made by heroes from diverse backgrounds in making our nation strong and secure.

Indigenous Veterans Day, observed annually on November 8, is an opportunity to recognize and honour the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis veterans who have served Canada with courage and distinction. Many Indigenous Peoples answered the call to serve despite facing significant barriers and inequities, making invaluable contributions in times of war, conflict, and peacekeeping. Their stories of service, sacrifice, and resilience are an important part of Canada’s history and continue to inspire reflection, respect, and reconciliation.
